Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-pluginsWhat it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00360 | $0.00360 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00180 | $0.00180 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00072 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
Grade C, and why
claude-code-plugins AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Validate a change
Validate with scripts/affected-tests.sh --run (add --explain to see why each suite was
selected) instead of running every suite; CI still runs everything. A changed file that maps
to zero suites is an error, never "nothing to run". Full contract, including the no-suite
allowlist and the NOT RUN ecosystems: README.md, "Validate a change".
Conventions that load on demand
Each surface below enters context automatically when Claude reads a file it covers. That trigger does not fire inside subagents, and after a compaction it fires again only when a covered file is read again. When you are working on something an entry covers and its content is not already in context, read the file directly.
| Surface | Covers | Topic |

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json |

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

claude-code-plugins AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 360 tokens to every session, about $0.0018 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
